Most outsiders can see that the education system in los is set up to drain money from the people with their education an after thought.

They did all the drains in Soi AR recently using prisoners from the local jail. The amount of thick black sand and waste they pulled out (by hand) was astounding. 

 

Should not they have done this "before" the rainy season ?

atyclb,You have the best pun of the month.,Now bend over and let Rowan and Martin award you "The Fickle Finger of Fate"

Did not some large international cities install a system of "Odd or Even" licensee plate number to enter the city? This would work if Bangkok had proper enforcement of the traffic laws,but that would be another ball of wax to sort out.

Here in LOS the government are confused about who are Thais and not Thais also.

Lawyers will always tell you that you can sue for anything because win or loose it means money in their pockets.So be careful and not call them Axx Hxxes on line.

A " Proper" global company or a "research-institution" will take care of the work-permit. If not, they are not a "proper" research-institution.
- Private or Government "research-institution"? If government research-institution, do you write and speak Thai?
- You can not afford a 2 bedroom + pool appartement within a reasonable distance to BTS/MRT.
Unfortunately, OP has not given any details concerning the "research-institution".

CAUTION: "Research-Institutions" oftentimes are nothing more but some Boiler-Room Operations, trying to sell irresistable Real-Estate-Deals or phony Health Care plans to foreighners by telefone.
Smells like it to me!
---------------
These days, a young foreighner (with qualifications) can still earn a high salary in countries like Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam.

But then, as Thailand's spare-time fruits are hanging lower than in above mentioned coutries, no wonder that eager younger foreighners prefer Thailand above all the other countries. Hoping to start a career, while being surrounded by "low hanging fruits" simultainiously. All this creating an oversupply of young "western" male talent, (that Thailand doesn't really need anymore), having the effect that wages for "western" talent have been stagnant for years in Thailand.
Still, good luck & cheers.

Some of the so called "International Schools" are now hiring for even less then 10 years ago.

He could be  prosecuted as he was not one of the "Hi Sos" that either  donates an annual large  brown envelope to the military controlled government or has various hidden  information of illegal dealings by those same groups.It is not who you blow , but what you know in LOS

I am sure there are signed treaties and contracts, between Donald "Your favorite President" Trump and Kim, where Northkorea is clearly bound to take....

...wait...you mean...WHAT?!

?

The only thing Little Kim agreed to was the dismantling of the nuclear test area which he no longer needs as all the testing (6 each) was completed and he now has the results so as to make his own atomic weapons. This is all hot wind coming out of The House of "Not Black and White"..Or should we say The House of Daily  White Lies ?

Wonder how much of a loan granted for seedlings ?

What is the currency difference between a coconut palm and aTeak tree? What height ?

The answer is simple.Most countries will just revoke their passports thus having them applying for homeless status in that country or as in Taksin's case he was "awarded" a passport in Cambodia for donations while he was there then he "legally" invested in the country of Montenegro.

I always thought the best diplomat was the one who could tell you to go to hell in such a way that you looked forward to the journey.

 

Todays diplomat is one that is expected to kiss ass and offer a smile of approval while the country he is in go on enslaving their own people.The Canadan Ambassador showed some balls in Saudi last week and was kicked out of country. Cheers To You CANADA.

"...“I think the biggest issue facing our society is the lack of understanding about human rights,” said Surapong Kongchantuk..."

 

Respectfully, the greatest threat to Human Rights in Thailand is the military Junta which limits them severely and de-fangs any independent Human Rights body.

 

I admire the Human Rights campaigners who want to serve the Thai people, but the body on which they are trying to serve has no power and thus no influence.

 

If one wants to see the return of genuine Human Rights for the Thai people, you need to get the military out of politics and turn to a civilian rule. Anything else is just wishful thinking.

 

 

First of all,the people of LOS have never had "genuine human rights" in their history.The military has from the 1930s until this day control of the country..They have all the power and they will never let go with out a revolution and in this modern time would be very hard to happen.

Thinking about you propelling your self along for 30 ks a day, wow well done.

I get tired just doing it around outside the house.

 

Now here is something.... How about some TV members helping support him.

I will be transferring some money, how many of other members will help?

Stats show that at least 98% of all announced donations will not be paid.

The catch phrase here is "Vowing to". and it should be "starting now".

I am guessing that the head monk at this temple will still have enough to make hie Bentley payment.

 Years ago the Mini was a good small economy car today it is  a piece of over priced crap.The Japanese copy are a lot better and cost less..

Thailand 4.0 does not need much staff .... computers will run the show and it's what EVERY Government wants !!!

Many years ago while in China I rented an audio unit while visiting The Forbidden ed City and Had a much better experience then if I had  had a guide.The US has used this idea for over 40 years on many sites.

Good and about time, all zoos, animal farms and safari parks in Thailand should be closed down.

Most zoos worldwide have had incidents and accusations of not treating their animals correctly but Thai zoos money making tourist attractions bring this to a new level and they bring no educational value to their visitors.

 

The only exemption should animal farms that are not open to the public, for example a snake farm for milking snakes to produce antivenom.

 

It's quite shocking to see how badly wild and often endangered animals are treated in captivity in a country were you could be sent down for kicking a soi dog.

 

So you are saying that all wild animals in the world should be seen only in photos in books and not studied or seen as real animals.What a stupid statement.
